public class Lucene53NormsFormat
extends NormsFormat

Lucene 5.3 Score normalization format.

Encodes normalization values by encoding each value with the minimum number of bytes needed to represent the range (which can be zero).

Files:

1. .nvd: Norms data
2. .nvm: Norms metadata

1. The Norms metadata or .nvm file.

   For each norms field, this stores metadata, such as the offset into the Norms data (.nvd)

   Norms metadata (.dvm) --> Header,<Entry>^NumFields,Footer

   • Header --> IndexHeader
   • Entry --> FieldNumber,BytesPerValue, Address
   • FieldNumber --> vInt
   • BytesPerValue --> byte
   • Offset --> Int64
   • Footer --> CodecFooter

   FieldNumber of -1 indicates the end of metadata.

   Offset is the pointer to the start of the data in the norms data (.nvd), or the singleton value when BytesPerValue = 0

2. The Norms data or .nvd file.

   For each Norms field, this stores the actual per-document data (the heavy-lifting)

   Norms data (.nvd) --> Header,< Data >^NumFields,Footer

   • Header --> IndexHeader
   • Data --> byte^{MaxDoc * BytesPerValue}
   • Footer --> CodecFooter

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Method Detail

normsConsumer

public NormsConsumer normsConsumer(SegmentWriteState state)
                            throws IOException

Description copied from class: NormsFormat

Returns a NormsConsumer to write norms to the index.

Specified by:

normsConsumer in class NormsFormat

Throws:

IOException

normsProducer

public NormsProducer normsProducer(SegmentReadState state)
                            throws IOException

Description copied from class: NormsFormat

Returns a NormsProducer to read norms from the index.

NOTE: by the time this call returns, it must hold open any files it will need to use; else, those files may be deleted. Additionally, required files may be deleted during the execution of this call before there is a chance to open them. Under these circumstances an IOException should be thrown by the implementation. IOExceptions are expected and will automatically cause a retry of the segment opening logic with the newly revised segments.

Specified by:

normsProducer in class NormsFormat

Throws:

IOException
